Your support makes all the difference.Former England fly-half Jonny Wilkinson will decide on his career future in February, saying he will continue playing only if he feels it will benefit his club.
The Toulon player, 33, retired from international rugby after last year's World Cup having won 91 caps for England and the British and Irish Lions. He has helped Toulon to first place in France's Top 14 this season. His contract expires at the end of the season.
"I'm capable of carrying on, but it's a delicate balance," Wilkinson said. "The question isn't what I would like to do, but what is best for my team. After I've asked myself that question, then I'll think about myself."
